I feel so emotionally drained by the experience that I too feel like I am in mourning for this president, despite the fact that I'm Canadian and was just 2yrs old when all this happened. I couldn't put it down! Though I was so wound -up and upset that I had to listen to something else in bed so I could sleep. Every detail pulled me in tighter and tighter till I felt entirely part of the scene. It would be hard to imagine a fuller accounting of that week. This is a remarkable account of EVERYTHING that was thought, done and said in the timeframe of the assassination and funeral. Manchester was picked for 2 reasons-firstly he was a friend of jfk and secondly he was a very respected writer/ historian. When jfk was killed -Jackie and the Kennedy clan hand picked William Manchester to write the full official account of the assassination from their end for posterity. What you must know from the start is the historic nature of this book.
